Mr.. Broatch is not fanatic on temper
ance or any other ism, he will
enforce better government and
draw the line sharply between
decent and respectable places and
the hot. bed of the vicious and licentious
element. The fact that all the cess pools
of vice and crime were emptied in the
Third ward against him, and an on
slaught was made upon him by the in
mates of the slums and dives in all parts
of the city, because he would not pledge
himself to free-and.easy platform, is
highly creditable to the new mayor. 1t
places him in position to do his duty
without fear or favor from class that
has heretofore dictated the policy of the
city government. The election of ma
jority of councilmen who are in accord
with him politically and otherwise will
enable the new mayor to give Omaha a
clean and reputable administration.

ton warranting him in making such state
ment Neither Mr. Thoebe nor any of his friends
have had any communication with Mr.. Randall
on the subject. I notice that Mr. Carlisle says
there is nothing in the brief filed by me in be-
half of Thobe. L con scarcely credit it, as it is
a very reckless statement for any make
who knows the facts in the case. The brief
contains the admission which Mr.. Carlisle
made In his answer TO the notice of contest,
which, if true. shows clearly and conclusivev.
In the light of law and presidents governing in
such cases. that Mr.. Carlisle was not legally
elected. If his own admissions false. and
the law and presidents are to be disregarded and
set aside by his partisans in the House. then, of
course. there is nothing in the brief.
'Mr. Carlisle and his partisans reported
through the public prints that the contest had
been abandoned. Now it suits their purposes to
report that there is nothing in the case With
out going into details. can assure you that
when the polls closed on election day Mr.. Thoebe
was elected by over one thousand majority. l

this fact and in addition to show how where
